Answer:

Probability that the sample mean comprehensive strength exceeds 4985 psi is 0.99999.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random sample of n = 9 structural elements is tested for comprehensive strength. We know the true mean comprehensive strength μ = 5500 psi and the standard deviation is σ = 100 psi.

<u><em>Let </em></u>\bar X<u><em> = sample mean comprehensive strength</em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

                          Z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean comprehensive strength = 5500 psi

            \sigma = standard deviation = 100 psi

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.

Now, Probability that the sample mean comprehensive strength exceeds 4985 psi is given by = P(\bar X > 4985 psi)

    P(\bar X > 4985 psi) = P( \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } > \frac{4985-5500}{\frac{100}{\sqrt{9} } } ) = P(Z > -15.45) = P(Z < 15.45)

                                                                  = <u>0.99999</u>

<em>Since in the z table the highest critical value of x for which a probability area is given is x = 4.40 which is 0.99999, so we assume that our required probability will be equal to 0.99999.</em>

50 written as a product of its prime fac<br> tors
Maru [420]
Start by identifying any factor of 50 and then rewriting 50 to include that one factor and another:

50 = 5 * 10              5 is prime, but 10 is not.  Thus, factor 10:

50 = 5 * 5 * 2        This is 50 as a product of its prime factors 5, 5 and 2.

goldfiish [28.3K]

Given data:

The first set of equations are x+y=4, and x=6.

The second set of equations are 3x-y=12 and y=-6.

The point of intersection of first set of te equations is,

6+y=4

y=-2

The first point is (6, -2).

The point of intersection of second set of te equations is,

3x-(-6)=12

3x+6=12

3x=6

x=2

The second point is (2, -6).

The equation of the line passing through (6, -2) and (2, -6) is,

\begin{gathered} y-(-2)=\frac{-6-(-2)}{2-6}(x-6) \\ y+2=\frac{-6+2}{-4}(x-6) \\ y+2=x-6 \\ y=x-8 \end{gathered}

Thus, the required equation of the line is y=x-8.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

<h2><u><em>342 m</em></u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate 50% of 684 m.

Give your answer in metres (m).

50% = 1/2

so

684 : 2 = 342 m
